Music Monday #10

For the tenth Music Monday (has it been that many weeks already?), I’ve selected the Disturbed cover of Simon and Garfunkel’s Sound of Silence. This song encapsulates that feeling of trying to reach someone with an idea only for them to ignore it and carry on with their chosen path. While the song focuses on a materialistic view (“And the people bowed and prayed / To the neon god they made.”), the same holds for any revelation the enlightened seek to bring to the people.

While the original song is fantastic, Disturbed managed to take the feeling of the song and really drive it home, touching the core of the listener’s being in a truly artful manner. I am not exaggerating when I say this version of the song brought me to tears. If it reaches you half as well as it did me, it will truly be something worth listening to.

“Fools,” said I, “You do not know.

And echoed in the wells of silence…
